I think the idea of this page was, if someone said "What's the weather like down there?", I'd show them this. So it's not an accurate reflection of the weather in Sussex all the time!

Chichester Flooding

During the Winter of 2000/2001 the South of England was hit by some of the worst flooding on record. Armed with a new digital camera I decided to try and capture how this affected the city where I lived, Chichester.

The city didn't flood in the end, but only because drastic measures were taken to move the water using a series of pipes stretching across the city.  Including cutting right across the main road into town, with traffic going over a makeshift wooden bridge.

Arundel from a moving train

Although I bought the camera at the computer show in October ostensibly to capture images of that show, I was thinking of getting a camera for some time.

After seeing some lovely sunrises around the Arundel area on the train to London each morning, I knew that I had very little time before the clocks changed back to GMT and I wouldn't be able to capture these images for some time - if indeed I ever got the chance again, with the rains causing morning mists I might not get the same views when everything had a chance to dry out. As it was it took me until just a few days before the clocks went back before the conditions were right to take my first shots. Bear in mind all of these are taken through the window of a moving train.
